that will bind them together and show them what love and family and
friendship really mean.

Man: Tony Stark Declassified draws on more than a half century of
classic tales to present an insightful, personal take about—and
by—one of the most talked-about heroes of all time. Featuring
Tony’s perspective on his most important friends, allies, and
enemies including Captain America, Pepper Potts, Happy Hogan, James
Rhodes, Ironheart, Bruce Banner, and Arno Stark, and his thoughts
on the Marvel Universe’s most memorable moments, this

eras.
The Taurus Reach: the source of a secret that has driven the great
powers of the 23rd century to risk everything in the race to
control it. Now four new adventures—previously untold tales of
the past and present, with hints of what is yet to come—begin the
next great phase in the Vanguard saga. Witness the dawn of Starbase
47, as Ambassador Jetanien faces choices that will shape the future
of Operation Vanguard. Follow journalist Tim Pennington as he
reaches a crossroads in his search for the truth. See how the
crises on two colonies transform the lives of Diego Reyes and Rana
Desai. And travel with Cervantes Quinn to a deadly confrontation
that will change everything—all in one unforgettable Star Trek
collection.
The second novel from the acclaimed Vanguard saga, based on Star
Trek: The Original Series! The Taurus Reach: a remote interstellar
expanse that holds a very old and potentially cataclysmic secret,
the truth of which is feared by the Tholians, coveted by the
Klingons, and dubiously guarded by the Federation. At the center of
this intrigue is Vanguard, a Federation starbase populated by an
eclectic mix of Starfleet officers and civilians, whose lives are
forever altered as they explore the layers of mystery surrounding
the Reach and steadily peel them away...one after another. In the
aftermath of Harbinger, Commodore Diego Reyes commands Vanguard
while waging an intensely personal struggle, tasked to uncover the
true significance of the Taurus Reach while simultaneously
concealing that mission from his fellow officers-and even his
closest friends. As the Daedalus-class U.S.S. Lovell brings some of
Starfleet's keenest technical minds to help, the U.S.S. Endeavour
makes a find that could shed further light on the enigmatic
meta-genome that has captured the Federation's interest-if its crew
survives the discovery... Deep within the Taurus Reach, an ancient
and powerful alien mind has awakened prematurely from aeons of
hibernation, alerted to the upstart civilizations now daring to
encroach upon the worlds in her care. With the stakes for all sides
escalating rapidly, the alien lashes out with deadly force against
the interlopers, propelling the Vanguard crew on a desperate race
to understand the nature of the attacker, and to prevent the Taurus
Reach from becoming a war zone.
The conclusion to the epic trilogy that stretches from the earliest
voyages of the Starship Enterprise to Captain Kirk's historic
five-year-mission-and from one universe to another-just in time for
the milestone 50th anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series!
Eighteen years ago, the Starship Enterprise thwarted an alien
invasion from another universe, and Captain Robert April took
possession of the interdimensional transfer device that made it
possible. Since then, each captain of the Enterprise, from
Christopher Pike to James T. Kirk, has guarded this secret with his
life. Now, Romulan agents have succeeded in stealing the device and
using it to banish Ambassador Sarek and Councillor Gorkon to an
unknown realm in the midst of their groundbreaking
Federation-Klingon peace negotiations. With time running out as
interstellar war looms in one universe-and alien forces marshal in
another-will Captain Kirk and his crew preserve the tenuous peace
and reclaim the key between the dimensions? (TM), (R), & (c)
